    Start wearing one of those wide red rubber bands on your wrist.
    Every time you think of doing a mod, just haul back on the band about 10 inches and let it go. I guarantee you'll slow down a little.

    I've been riding motorcycles since 1964, and any biker will tell you that "H-D" doesn't really stand for "Harley-Davidson", it stands for "Hundreds of Dollars", which is what you spend every time you go to a dealer.

    I'm finding out that Tacoma World is costing me $$ for my new Tacoma, but I love it.

    It might not have cash in it but i bet you can find just about anything in the bottom of one of them. "Honey, you still have that 14mm wrench in there ??"

    Yeah I was gonna say it's all in perspective. TW gives you the want's but you probably want them anyway yet helps you to find the cheapest way/place to do it. ;)

    Well to be honest, I did have a thing of carb cleaner, fuel inj cleaner and a wrench at one point. My friends were laughing at me because I had to pull them out one by one to get my brush.

    It was at work in the break room. There were all kinds of people there. I put my purse on the table and was looking for my brush. I started to pull the chemicals out and put them on the table. They were all staring at me. When I pulled out the wrench it made a clunk sound as I placed it down and everyone started laughing. :(
